War.
The word weighed heavily on the Dwarf’s mind. He knew that this day would come. He’d been aware that it was looming from the moment they discovered the truth about the Puer Kingdom— when the crime lord Didar had been apprehended by Melas.
Gennady Usenov thought it’d lead to this. The only thing was, he never expected it to happen so quickly.
The tensions that flared between the Taw Kingdom and the Puer Kingdom quickly cascaded into war. A full-scale invasion was...

I sat up in my bed, placing the Dimensional Storage Box down to the ground as I heard footsteps rushing around outside of my room. I was studying the various aspects of the box until I heard this ruckus. I pushed the door open, seeing Dwarfs scramble around as Golems march robotically down the hallway.
I caught sight of a familiar Engineer running by. “Aniyar!” I called out, dragging his feet to a halt. He turned to face me, blinking as I spoke. “What’s going on?”
“It...

Side Story 7: Rachel II
“...DO you think it’ll come here?”
“Perhaps. Or maybe not. Regardless, we have other things to worry about.”
“That’s why I’m worried. Because of this damn company war, all our—”
Sophia tried to tune out the conversations she heard as she stalked through the lobby of the Valiant Dreamers Company’s headquarters. The atmosphere was one of dread. Not a moment passed where som...

The world was always changing. Things that greatly shaped your future could occur at any moment. This was a concept that Adrian grasped, even back in Villamcreek.
But to actually experience it— it was a different thing entirely. He never fully comprehended the implications of change back home. However, ever since a single event— the death of Aria— things had been rapidly changing around the boy.
The dull village he grew up in was now tens of thousands of ...

“Elysia.”
A voice drew the attention of the little girl. She looked up from under her blankets, turning to face the figure that stood at the entrance of the cave. Elara, the girl’s mother, stood there.
She wore a weary face. Yet, when she saw Elysia standing up from under the ragged covers, she replaced it with a relieved smile. “I’ve returned,” Elara breathed out.
“You’re back!” Elysia ran forward, hugging Mother’s arms. ...

The Dark Crusaders had been trapped in the tunnels beneath Jahar’taw for a day before they managed to escape through one of the many cave exits around the mountainous terrain. They waited until the cover of night before they left, and I split from them to return to my friends. I looked over at Karna.
“What happens now?”
“We may have to leave the city. Or we’ll find a way to stay and survive.” Karna shook his head. “Many of my kin live in this city, living in poor con...

Tiberius lay dead, his faith still strong, even in his final moments: there were no regrets, no reconciliation. He believed what he did was truly right— a religious zealot till the very end.
It didn’t matter to me where his beliefs had lain; I had only been interested in one thing, and that was helping those around me while protecting myself. It was the reason why I killed Victor— now it was the reason why I killed Tiberius and his Holy Knights.
“We need to get out of here...

TWO INDIVIDUALS STAND BEFORE US.
One of them is a giant of a man: I am now certain that he is a man. He hefts his spiked club over his shoulder, even as the golden sparks shower over his back. He wears thick armor, like a metal shell around his hunched back, and his oversized jaw twists into a grin.
The second individual is smaller. Far smaller. It does not stand, but floats. Green tendrils of varying sizes peeked out from beneath its black robe. Its body… is its head. It looks ...

I made my way into the warehouse as I put my mask back on, pushing aside Goblins, Beastkin, Dwarfs, and Humans as they fled the scene. These were Dark Crusaders. The supposed terrorist group responsible for the most heinous of evil. Yet, they wore terrified looks on their faces. Many of them didn’t even have weapons. They were dressed in ragged clothing, clearly factory workers and miners who had to labor hard to make ends meet.
These people… they weren't evil. Maybe the organizatio...

*******
TIAN DOUBLED OVER, COUGHING OUT WATER.
She was pulled out of the rushing rapids mere moments ago, thrown to the riverbank and into safety. She’d thought she was going to die. Join her Mother with the Dao. But something saved her from drowning. No— someone.
A Sacred Beast stood at her back. It wore the body of a white fox, with three flowing tails that spread open like a fan. On its neck was a golden mane. Wisping. Like it was alight in f...
